About this property
Mendocino Coast Cliffside Cottage—Shangri-La
Shangri-La is the perfect place to relax & renew. Our cottage nests cozily on a high bluff with breathtaking panoramas of the ocean, at the junction of Anderson Valley wineries & the majestic coast. Sit on the deck or take a soak in a hot tub under the stars. A short drive takes you to historic Mendocino village. A Zagat-rated restaurant is steps away!
The cottage is a studio with a full kitchen and bathroom, as well as a private deck with a hot tub. Parking is across a quiet street from the cottage.
A few things to note --
No children under 12 years old are allowed. The cottage is suitable for only one couple.
Bring up to 2 dogs for a $25 fee. Dogs need to be leashed when outside and they cannot be left alone on the premises.
We offer Wifi, but it is provided by a small local company that cannot necessarily restore service quickly if there is an outage (usually caused by storms). So, just a heads up -- it's not an ideal spot for remote work. Verizon generally covers the property though if you are willing to rely on data as a backup.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sarah Rinzler
It all started in 1998 when my mother-in-law gave me (Geneviève) a book of recipes by Margaret Fox where she explain how she opened Café Beaujolais in Mendocino. I like to cook, and I loved both the recipes and the story. My husband, Jonathan, surprised me with a trip to Mendocino and a fine meal at Café Beaujolais to celebrate my birthday… it was fate. For almost two decades, we’d come back to Mendocino every year—sometimes twice a year, to spend time together and enjoy the magic of the Pacific Ocean.
After living and raising our two daughters in Petaluma we decided to move to the Mendocino area--Albion!
I'm a retired nurse; Jonathan, passed away in 2021 and was a writer under the name J.W. Rinzler. I've lived in California for nearly 25 years, but I'm originally from France, and love hosting our two cottages.
